Nai Harn Beach is set in a small bay that retains a quiet charm, being home to only a few hotels, restaurants and shops. It’s also a popular anchorage for boats during the high season. Nai Harn is great for swimming from November to April. Care should be taken in the low season, from May to October, when the calm seas are replaced by strong currents, making it better suited to surfing and kitesurfing. The local restaurants just above the beach make a great place to relax with a sundowner.
Further south is Ya Nui Beach, a sandy cove that attracts snorkelers and divers. Another out-of-the-way spot nearby that’s also great for snorkeling is the tiny beach of Ao Sane.
